I’ve never heard the Monteux version. Clearly, I need to rectify that soon. Related questions:
– Does the Monteux version have the brass fanfare in the 3rd movement or not?
– Do you have a preference for versions with or without the fanfare?
– Have you heard the “La mer” done last year by the LA Phil w/ Charles Dutoit that was made available streaming on the internet: http://symphonycast.publicradio.org/display/web/2012/05/28/la-philharmonic/?
(BTW: the timings for the movements in that version are: I. – 9’23; II. – 6’50; III. 8’51)

Fine find, CK!
Neither one of the two editions of the score that i looked into has that lick. But some conductors do indeed prefer inserting it into the piece. it would be interesting to find out how and where it originated.
